If I had a nickel for every time people on lemmy discredited voting 3rd party or progressive candidates under the excuse of “muh RCV” or “vote blue no matter who”, I’d have enough money to bribe the DNC into splitting into multiple parties.

Terminal emulators are bloat, real arch users use the real teletype (tty) as intended lol
mlg@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•From Book Bans to Internet Bans: Wyoming Lets Parents Control the Whole State’s Access to The InternetEnglish5·5 days agoTechnically the current version of freenet became hyphanet, and the new version of freenet is under development.
The core issue is still total users and tradeoff of speed vs anonymity. Not enough people will use it unless it really becomes a core necessity or it offers something better.
I recently realized I forgot to use reflink copy on an XFS filesystem and ran duperemove which freed ~600GB of data
Brand spanking new Kali linux after it was redone from Backtrack.
Thought I was cool for 5 seconds until I saw the Kali forums tearing into the thousands of idiots like me who hadn’t touched Linux before but somehow managed to jump through the sketchy Debian installer to load an OS with a metric ton of offensive security tools that none of use knew how to use.
Eventually played with Ubuntu for home use, disliked it, tried Debian which was nice for server, saw Linus Torvalds uses Fedora for user friendly experience, and ended up there.

Multiverse is just the gg ez way to do a reboot with even less effort lol
mlg@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Steam can't escape the fallout from its censorship controversyEnglish10·7 days agoWelcome to the bank owned oligopoly lol.
Debit cards use the same PCI DSS backend, which is owned by Visa and Mastercard, both of which were created by banks (I think BofA made Visa)
“ePayment” systems like PayPal, Cashapp, Zelle, etc rely on the same backend, or also publicly owned by several major banks.
Direct bank wire transfers still have a useless transfer fee for literally no reason. I think maybe echecks don’t, but they expose your full bank account numbers (for no good reason), and they’re still controlled by the bank, and they don’t offer it as a solution for rapid payments.
Bitcoin technically solved this problem except the supply system wasn’t designed for stability, so the value is way too volatile. Even though there are better crypto currencies that have solved this problem like XRP, the blockchain hype train crashed so a ton of vendors don’t accept crypto anymore even though they used to (including Steam).
This entire system is nothing but a highly organized and legalized fraudulent scam to ensure banks can rip off vendors and consumers with transaction fees and debt.
The only thing that bypasses this system at the moment is using physical cash, which doesn’t work online.
mlg@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•Linux is about to lose a feature [Bcachefs (ofc)]– over a personality clashEnglish5·8 days agoSorta related but these “next gen” FSs are pretty overrated on the performance benchmarks lots of groups like Phoronix do every kernel release.
BTRFS lags behind a ton compared to XFS, even though XFS was originally designed for large file throughput on servers.
Even EXT4 beats BcacheFS and BTRFS on several irl load benchmarks.
Only thing I’ve seen actually keep up is F2FS which iirc is the default on Android these days.
The Debian 6.12 kernel trying to find modules for your fancy new hardware:

And even then you see people taking showers as fast as 5 minutes to save water stored in the tank.
No, Pakistan does not have RCV. Hell they don’t even have a qualified election system with the amount of falsified ballots, yet the third party still defeated that system.
